To my mind, the real question is this: does she succeed with her exercise? Has she indeed managed to make an all-inclusive FMC by simply not describing her in the least? Ultimately, I think probably not.

Other than describing the pubic area, nothing. And they are clearly very attracted to the FMC, but Pucci really succeeded with her writing exercise. The four MMCs are described in painstaking, super attractive detail. The only thing I can tell you with any certainty about the FMC is that she’s waxed into a landing strip, and that the carpet is dark. She went on to say that she included as little description of the FMC as possible. During her TikTok clip, Pucci mentions that one of her goals with this book was to make it as inclusive as possible so that every woman could picture herself in the female main character’s place. What I really want to talk about isn’t the sex scenes (why choose, so numerous partners and combinations, super explicit, and melt-your-eyeballs spicy), but instead the manner in which the female lead is written. (Absolutely a 100% accurate description.) It was described as a Hallmark Christmas movie of a book, except utterly filthy. I came across an author named Trilina Pucci talking about a holiday bon bon she had written called Tangled in Tinsel.

As in, more pages are dedicated to sex than to plot development. All of this is to preface where I’m going next: SmutTok, the part of BookTok that is for the people that like a *serious* amount of spice in their romance. Honestly, I probably spend more time scrolling through the clock app than any other form of social media right now. If you have read any of the reviews I’ve posted over the last year or two, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve mentioned BookTok a good bit.
